The Master of Ballantrae

Set against the backdrop of the Jacobite rebellion of 1745, The Master of Ballantrae, narrated by servant Ephraim Mackellar, follows the turbulent Durie family. The story centers on two brothers: James, who supports the Jacobite cause and leaves their ancestral home, and Henry, who remains loyal to the English crown. Years later, James reappears, presumed dead, igniting a bitter feud that takes them from the Scottish Highlands to the Wild West of America.
